LOS ANGELES — There are nights at Dodger Stadium when the script feels predictable, a stacked lineup, an early lead, a shutdown bullpen. And then there are nights like Monday, when nothing quite works until, suddenly, everything does.
Enter Kyle Tucker, or, as the Marlins might prefer not to remember him, the boogeyman in Dodger blue. KYLE TUCKER WALKS IT OFF! pic.
twitter. com/EdxoHGjLWa — Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) April 28, 2026 For eight innings, Tucker looked nothing like the hitter the Dodgers invested $60 million a year in. He was 0-for-4, the timing just off, the impact absent.
The offense around him wasn’t much better. After a two-run first inning, the Dodgers went quiet, stuck on two runs while the Miami Marlins chipped away and eventually pulled ahead. By the time Tucker walked to the plate in the ninth, the Dodgers were down to their final out, bases loaded, two outs, trailing by one.
